Moving iTunes imported music albums from MBP to iPad

I have a MBP in my name/iTunes account, my wife has just been given an iPad 3, and she has her own iTunes account on it.
Is there anyway (without the sharing option) of moving albums from my MBP to her iPad so that they physically sit in her iPad, not sharing.
I dont mean purchased music from iTunes etc, but albums I have copied / imported from our own CD's etc.
Thanks for any help

If I open itunes on my MBP and then connect the iPad to my MBP and then click on devices where it says my wifes iPad, the only optios I get are to "set up as new iPad" or "Recover from my wifes iPhone"
I cant see sync any wherne.

Moving iTunes and music library from one computer to another

I need to move my iTunes and music library with purchased music, playlists, ratings, and legally downloaded music to another computer. How do I do that?

Try posting in the iTunes for Windows area. You'll be more likely to get a quick and accurate answer there than you will here in the iTunes for Macintosh forum. Good luck.

HT1848 iTunes and music transfer from laptop to iPad 2

I'm trying to transfer music on my laptop iTunes to my iPad. How can I do this?

You've selected the iPad on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes, and selected the Music tab on the right-hand side of iTunes so that you see something like :
If you tick the 'selected playlists ...' tickbox you should be able to be more selective over what to copy.
Have you then selected what you want to sync to the iPad, and clicked the Sync button at the bottom right of that screen ? That should then sync your selection over the iPad's Music app (not the iTunes app on the iPad).

How do I import music files from a flash drive to my iTunes library on my laptop

How can I import music files from a flash drive to my iTunes library? I put the flash drive into my laptop, selected " add file to library", selected the songs I wanted from the flash drive, and it looked like they were added as the names show under " recently added". Then I removed the flash drive from my laptop But when I select one of the songs and try to play it a message saying "the song could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" So it seems the actual files did not transfer. What do I do? I have done this. With a cd in the past with nsomproble,.

Thank you!! This worked. It does seem there should be an easier way but this did work.
Dragging the files to "Automatically Add..." is pretty easy once you know where to look. Just make sure iTunes is running when you do it; otherwise the files will just sit there until the next time you open iTunes.
(Interestingly, the way you originally tried to do would have worked fine except for one little detail: you have to first go into Edit > Preferences > Advanced, and check the box for "Copy files..." If that is not done, iTunes will reference the files on the flash drive, which of course are not accessible once the drive is removed, as you saw.)
Anyway, glad that all is now sorted. Enjoy the music!

Last summer I bought a music album from iTunes. I've already transferred all my orders from my units, but somehow iTunes wants me to pay for the same album again. When I try to add it to my wish list it simply tells me that I've already bought that item.

And I've already tried to search for downloadable purchases.
So fact is established, I've purchased this album before but iTunes does not recognize it.
What to do?

Hey sorry for the late response but I've been out of town. I can copy and paste the email responses if necessary or desired, and if it's fixed already this is a moot point anyway, but basically they kept asking me for the order numbers for the two songs I already bought from the specific album I was trying to complete, which I eventually gave them - along with telling them multiple times that the Complete My Album feature wasn't working for ANY album. They gave me two free song codes to compensate me for the two songs I bought, and then told me to go and buy the album at full price, but the ENTIRE TIME they COMPLETELY ignored that I was telling them that this wasn't an issue with one album but was a larger, seemingly systematic issue that other people were experiencing. Even after I got the song codes I emailed them back and said AGAIN that this wasn't an isolated feature, and they just sent me the link to the apple Feedback page (http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html) and told me to submit my complaint there. So, technically, my issue was never really "resolved," in that they never fixed the Complete My Album feature that I am aware of - or even acknowledged that anything needed fixing, but I haven't tested it since Sunday.
If it's working for you, then hopefully they fixed it! I've noticed they've updated to 10.4.1, but the notes don't indicate they're fixing anything about the Complete My Album feature, so I don't know.

I really want to purchase music albums from iTunes store. but the payment option is so painful. I have a SBI ATM *** Debit Card. So please do something on Indian store payment option. At-least create a alternative payment, like Internet Banking

We are fellow users here on these user-to-user forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple.
Do you have a credit card, or a different debit card that you could try (some are apparently still accepted in India) ?

The old iTunes libraries do not restore any playlists or song counts.
They should you if you do the roll back properly... Opening files from the Previous iTunes Libraries folder in Windows Explorer simply opens the current library. If you don't see the .itl file extension then don't give your copied and renamed file the extention or iTunes will create an empty library rather than using the renamed file.
If you had a complete pre-problem backup of your library you could restore that. On the assumption that isn't possible I have a script called ExportImport that could in principle be adjusted to save the relevant data from a backup of the library database and then reimport that data into the current library. See this thread for details.

All your media should be in your library, and backed up too. See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

Importing iPhoto albums from a dvd?

To free up space on my hard drive I burned my iPhoto Library to a dvd. But I still want to be able to access the photos on the dvd in the future. As a test I tried to import an album from the dvd and I get this message (couldn't create: users/xxx/Pictures/iPhoto Library/xxx/xxx/xx/xxx.jpg) for each picture in the album and then this (Unreadable Files 3: The following files could not be imported [they may be an unrecognized file type or the files may not contain valid data.]) I sort of understand this since the album folders only contain aliases of the actual jpgs.
My question, then, is how does one import albums from burned media back into iPhoto? Mind you, I'm still using iPhoto 2, so perhaps this is an easier task in more recent versions? Thanks in advance for any help.

How did you burn the library to the DVD disc. If it was by dragging the entire iPhoto Library folder to the disc and burning via the Finder you won't be able to open it from within iPhoto. To be able to do that you must have selected the items to be burned and then use the Burn button in the lower right hand corner. That's the only way you'll be able to see the items in iPhoto.
To correct that you could copy that iPhoto Library folder to your desktop and open it with iPhoto (launch with the Option key depressed and select the desktop library folder). Now you can select that entire library and burn it again using the Burn button. That disc will be readable by iPhoto when it's inserted into the drive with iPhoto running.

How to delete music albums from iPhone

How to delete music albums from iphone?

They're DEFINITELY pushing Apple users that way. I just saw yet ANOTHER new/incredible feature the Galaxay can do that Apple (I mean Tim Cook) can't even DREAM about doing.
At this point, it's becoming an embarrassement to even own an iPhone. *sigh*

Missing link between Itunes and Music Loaded from CDs

Somehow itunes no longer recognizes the link between itunes and music loaded from my Cds (error message in itunes indicates original file could not be found). I can establish this link manually one by one and the songs play but how can I establish this link other than manually one by one in itunes ?

    Hi again!
     I saved the last message by accident which caused the reply to be sent off and so I had not finished what I wanted to write. Aploogies.
     I didn't find the new iMac hybrid SSD/Disk system easy to understand when it arrived over a year ago. I eventually decided that the 256 SSD section would be best suited to having the Operatin System for greater speed and I must have decided to put the music files on the 1TB internal hard drive along with photos and raw video clips. I can't honestly remember. There was a lot to take in. I wasn't even aware until this failure that iTunes had a default location.
     In addition to having the iTunes folder on the internal 1TB hard drive, I used Time Machine to store the entire computer contents on a 1TB Western Digital external hard drive. I had done my last Time Machine back-up on the 13 February and so I was hoping that by opening one or two songs on the back-up, they might reactivate the 'old' interface with the original playlists on it. That didn't happen but I then realised, while I was still in the Tme Machine back-ups on the WD external hard drive, that in the iTunes Media folder contained within the iTunes folder on the default Users/Username/Music location there was only an Add automatically to iTunes folder which was empty. While still still looking through the Time Machine back-upsI saw that the music instead was stored on the 1TB of internal hard drive as outlined on the first post:
     'The music files are located in folders (name of artists), within a folder (iTunes Music), within a folder (iTunes), within a folder (Music), within a folder (username) on the 1TB of internal disk drive.'

How to import iPhoto album from CD (not entire library)?

I am trying to set up a workflow where multiple people in multiple cities can export an album from iPhoto and send the CD to me. Once I receive it, I'll import it into my iPhoto library. I would like to import it directly in to Aperture though. What is the best way to do this?
Should I import into iPhoto then have my library linked to Aperture or should I keep everything in Aperture? I do not need to edit -- only catalog based on the keywords each person attaches to each photo. I don't think that exporting the photos by themselves (instead of the album they are in) gives me the comments field so I would lose the comments. That is why I need the entire album instead.
I hope this makes sense. Please let me know if you have any more questions.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Terence,
Yes, they are using v7. The thing is, since I posted the question, I found that doing an album burn (not a file export) will save the data, but in a file other than the image file. When you mount the CD you just burned to in iPhoto, the data shows up in the comments field. When you import the data though, the comments don't get imported.
I found a third party utility called iPhoto Library Manager that takes care of this. It allows you to do a lot of stuff like imports, library merges, etc. that iPhoto doesn't do. Very handy little app, but I think iPhoto should at least allow you to import an album from another system with all the info intact (especially since it exports it into the xml file included with the photos).
